THE THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT
The Sunday Pattern
This month the District Church Council at St Helen’s will begin to discuss the way Sunday happens week by week and month by month. We’ll be looking at three aspects of our Sunday experience: worship, hospitality/fellowship, and formation/education. Through the coming six months the DCC, with in-put from others in our congregation, will review what we currently do and when, and consider other options. There will be opportunity for members of the congregation to express their views, and you will be kept informed of the evolution of discussions at suitable points. (Remember that DCC minutes are posted in the vestibule outside the Church Office.) We intend to have settled on a pattern (the same or a new one) by late summer so that we can introduce it by September.
Mothering Sunday Next Week
Next Sunday marks the mid-way point between the beginning of Lent and Easter. The customary giving of flowers to mothers will take place at the ten o’clock service. Remember that a Promenade Tea will be served at 3 pm in the South Aisle with music, and Choral Evensong will follow at 4.30 pm. Why not bring along someone who would be alone that afternoon and (re-)introduce them to St Helen’s? I look forward to seeing you there.
The Revd Dr Charles Miller, Team Rector
